The Finder takes the thousands of files on your hard drive, and present them in a way that allows you to do all sorts of cool things with your Mac. Normally, a user doesnit care about the hundreds or thousands of files hidden inside a single package. However, there are times where one wants to dig beneath the surface and get at all the goodies contained within some of these files. Fortunately, thereis File Juicer...

The extracted files are neatly organized in subfolders for each extracted file type, gif, jpg, png and so on.
